Kumi Nkansah is an inspiration.
Using his skills as a professional radio broadcaster and a digital marketer, he's in the process of orange-pilling the nation of Ghana.
Inspired by those he met at the first ever African Bitcoin Conference (https://www.afrobitcoin.org/) in December 2022, Kumi took to the streets and started educating everyday Ghanaians as well as members of the Ghanaian government alongside the others on his educational team — the Bitcoin Cowries.
